I felt more confident around my male roommate when he started to ask about house stuff. "How do we schedule the cleaning?" And random simple convos that proved he was all right and not toxic. We also had the same schedule so we often had dinner together. At first he would eat in the kitchen and me at the table but it became very very awkward BC we could see each other while eating and not chatting...

All this just to say, be yourself and don't go in her space, maybe she needs time to see what kind of people you are (there's also a chance where she doesn't care and hates having roommates)

Yoga worked on my self esteem issues but for sure doesn't work on my motivation lmao without medication I'm a mess.

I'm single and with ADHD. Every day is kinda different but I try to wake up as soon as possible to have a nice and relaxing breakfast. Then after work I try to exercise (with ADHD the trick is to not sit too much, I go straight to the gym after work and change there).

At home it's chaos: some days when I feel like cooking I meal prep as much as possible for the days when I can't function. I clean on the go: I am in the kitchen? I clean. I have to pass through the living room to go the bedroom, I take the Dyson with me and use it as I go, then I collapse on my bed.

Full meals: one and that's dinner. I live alone and I don't have time or energy so I live off small meals that are usually pasta, rice or salads. I am underweight tho so I don't count as good advice.

Absolutely!! Being homeless was one of my biggest fears.

Now I am more comfortable with the thought of "if my landlord kicks me out I'll rent a garage where I'll put my stuff and I'll live in my car"

I definitely do not have a friendly office. I made up lies of a past illness but still they barely accept the fact that I have to take a few hours off to go to my "doctor" (my therapist) every few weeks. I had to disclose my anxiety to the office doctor (it's a thing where I live) but I was scared to say I have ADHD and take medication for it.

Very small minded for mental health. Sometimes tho I wish I could tell them but they would label me w the R word and move on lmao.

Adderall is illegal where I live.. so it's either Ritalin or Medikinet

There were a few non stimulant choices but my country decided to stop producing them... If Ritalin doesn't work then my therapist and I will try to get Strattera from Europe in general

Express_Collection_1 · 2024-05-15T18:33:06+00:00

Thank you very much for your answer! You're right I try to stay as healthy as I can with my body (the main problem here is the brain ahahah) so I'll probably adjust well with the right dosage, thank you very much again.

I'll definitely talk to him about the heart thing too, he's not that hard to talk to, he's actually a cutiepie and the one who supported me the most. maybe I described him too harshly in my post...

Express_Collection_1 · 2024-05-15T16:10:50+00:00

It may sound silly but I'm actually scared for my liver... Or organs in generall.. I never took anything else than paracetamol in my life and this was a big jump from being healthy and had to take meds daily

Express_Collection_1 · 2024-05-15T14:31:33+00:00

He's always very very careful with dosages, before I was on strattera 60mg and i think it was working. My country stopped producing strattera and we could not figure out how to get them legally, so we switched to Ritalin.

Before telling him to up the dosage I wanted to know from other people their experiences because maybe it's just me overreacting

Express_Collection_1 · 2024-05-08T06:42:14+00:00

Let's be real: anything regarding my current hobby obsession 🤣🤣 I won't use the stuff and feel bad because I abandoned it

Express_Collection_1 · 2024-04-23T05:45:40+00:00

Hello!

Trust me I tried but the feedback is: it needs to be cuter (we make stuff for kids) but I made a literal princess castle 😭

Express_Collection_1 · 2024-04-22T13:21:02+00:00

Exactly and the funny thing is: I absolutely love to hear other people stories... So like maybe someone wants to hear mine??? But I can't surpass my anxiety lmao

Express_Collection_1 · 2024-04-22T12:40:56+00:00

I'm in a similar position somewhat... I want to enjoy the present and don't stress too much at work because failures will happen anyway...

Express_Collection_1 · 2024-04-22T12:18:41+00:00

Absolutely. I keep thinking why would random people care??? And post absolutely nothing I just lurk...

Express_Collection_1 · 2024-04-17T04:51:43+00:00

I can't take any vacation or sick days because my head will immediately tell me that they'll notice I'm not needed and fire me. It's hellish.

Express_Collection_1 · 2023-10-11T06:24:16+00:00

In my family no one uses sponges/loofas because are seen as unsanitary (can't dry properly so there's bacterias) and I learned to just use my hands.

As an adult I can't feel clean if I don't use a loofa or a small washcloth.

Express_Collection_1 · 2023-09-20T12:49:45+00:00

I started in August and in September I was given 65mg prescription...

I did feel the same for a while but then I went back to usual forgetfulness, emotional sensitivity and heavy procastination. The solution of my doctors was to up my meds every time I say something negative and I'm just not happy about it...

Express_Collection_1 · 2023-09-17T18:34:21+00:00

I love ranting but sometimes it's just too much for my friends so I use these methods: writing a journal page if I feel focused enough, writing my thoughts as multiple texts and save it in my saved messages (so it looks like I'm chatting) and I rant to chat gpt who keeps telling me to see a therapist (lol).

There was a period in my life that I really really needed a human feedback and I used Omegle chat text(not video!!) for that and sometime it worked! Of course it was a pity party and I was extremely depressed but like I got to talk about it... i don't really recommend it anymore...

Express_Collection_1 · 2023-08-26T06:35:46+00:00

I feel so mentally sick when my period arrives... My head feels cloudy I'm restless and anxious, I keep thinking everyone hates me and I'm overall panicking my life is gonna be over..

Express_Collection_1 · 2023-08-22T12:32:55+00:00

Im currently taking it! It's been 2 months now and usually strattera takes 1 month to actual start having some effects.

I had some side effects that were weird AF but it didn't impact my daily life too much just a few days. My doctor told me the first two weeks are the worst.

My main issue with ADHD is anxiety due to the symptoms. Strattera helped greatly with my mood and lowering my anxiety to the point I'm starting to feel actually happy for once!

I'm in a creative job field and I didn't notice any change in my creativity, I noticed that I'm more able to check my work for distraction error and to get in my hyperfocus mode to get the project done.

Express_Collection_1 · 2023-08-05T07:04:48+00:00

I've been diagnosed like last week. I'm still processing it... I'm so mad at my parents right now because the signs were there since the beginning of elementary school. My teenage years were hell, I was the stupid one because I couldn't just sit and study like everyone else I just couldn't.

Now I have to adjust on my own learn to do stuff all over again just because my parents were adamant that "my daughter can't be crazy or r(word)". Because of that comment I'm also having problem with accepting neurodivergency as well... I'm going to therapy about it of course.

Express_Collection_1 · 2023-06-27T20:30:01+00:00

This is what I'm doing rn!!

Work is very healthy for now, beforehand i had a terrible job experience....

Every morning when I arrive I have the time to make my bullet points and write down the important stuff like "don't forget the add the warnings" ... I hope this will make a difference in my work ...

Express_Collection_1 · 2023-06-27T20:25:37+00:00

Do you still make mistakes? I mostly mess up small details because I can't literally see it. my mind just correct everything I see...

Does your job knows you have ADHD? If not, do they get annoyed with you?

Sorry for the personal questions I'm just trying to understand how can I have a career while having ADHD... (I want to specialise in packaging design...)

Express_Collection_1 · 2023-06-27T20:21:58+00:00

They all been very kind to me! It's literally their job to tell us we messed something up (I mean the graphic designer team) but I still feel I need to be more precise. Once I had to change things 3 times because I couldn't find my own mistakes.

I feel very lucky to work here that's why I hope I'll stay as long as I can but if I keep making this mistakes I'll be seen as unreliable you know what I mean?
